How's momma feeling: I had a great week! This cool weather is AMAZING! A couple people were talking about how we haven't had summer weather, and I told them they aren't pregnant:). I'm finding that being on my feet for long periods of time puts stress on my lower back, so I just have to sit periodically and be smart not to push myself. I'm grateful for a job where I'm up and down all day, so it's a good balance!!
Size of baby: Baby Girl Cully weighs about 3 pounds and is around 15.5 inches long!! She still doesn't feel heavy yet (I know; I'm sure it's coming). She is still getting chubbier!! She looks like she will at birth but just on a smaller scale...I can't wait to see what she looks like!!
Cravings: Pepperoni pizza...don't worry...I got some!! Also, my mom introduced me to key lime Greek yogurt - YUM!!! I wouldn't say I craved it, but I definitely enjoyed one (or two or five) while they were here!
Aversions: Nothing this week. (this is a good one to not have an answer for!)
Sleep: Back to sleeping well!! It could have been that I was more tired from family being here (movies, chatting, shopping, cooking, etc.) or just that I found the right pillow to put in between my legs while sleeping, but either way, I've slept soundly. I still get up occasionally to go to the bathroom, but I think that's more from drinking too much before bed as opposed to just being pregnant:).
Exercise: Made it to Zumba this week and had energy and was able to do just fine still! I am so grateful for this! It's kind of my personal test of how well I'm doing:). We had a substitute teacher, and I really enjoyed her class. I also had the privilege of entertaining my mom and brother doing Rockin' Body DVD's while they watched and critiqued the people in the video...haha!
Looking forward to: Maternity pictures this weekend! A dear friend of ours from church is going to take them for us! Can't wait!
Something fun: My mom and brother came to visit this week! They arrived Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday night mom treated us to an anniversary dinner at a local diner we've been wanting to try for awhile now. It was yummy! Thursday I took off work, and we baked cinnamon rolls to freeze for after baby, made a grocery list (Mom came to fill up our freezer with meals for after baby!!), had an OB appointment, went to a few stores, and met up with one of my roommates from college (she and her whole family were in Ithaca that day!!) for ice cream. It was a FUN day! That night, I also got my pepperoni pizza:). The rest of the story/pictures will come in this week's post.
FYI: I had a field trip at work last Friday, so I wasn't able to post when I normally do. We went to the Corning Museum of Glass. We got to do a little glass project, had a tour, and ate lunch there (that was my favorite part:)).
We got A LOT done last weekend!!! Tom got to go with me to a "mentoring" class that I'm taking so that was special. We got our little apartment put back almost to "normal"and made another pile of things for my mom and brother to take back with them to store until we move (thank you!). It feels good to put things away, organize, and clean out!!
Thank you, Lord, for: Time with family this week! This was my brother's first time to Ithaca, so it was special to introduce him to our home and our town. They were such a big help, and we can't wait to eat my mom's food...after baby, Olivia...after baby! We had a good time at home and out and about. Next time we see them, we'll have a little one...wow! That's a lot to think about!
